What is the problem?
sudo service octoprint {start|stop|restart} does not start/stop Octoprint.
I can run octoprint from ~/Octoprint/venv/vin/octoprint, but would like it to start on boot.
What did you already try to solve it?
I followed the guide here:
I googled around and saw that a lot of people are making the mistake of not editing /etc/default/octoprint correctly. I think I'm doing it correctly; I installed following the venv procedures.
Below is a copy/paste from my terminal. I tried to format it to make it legible but I also didn't want to not put enough information.
Logs (octoprint.log, serial.log or output on terminal tab at a minimum, browser error console if UI issue ... no logs, no support!)
Here is my /etc/default/octoprint
pi@prusa:/etc/init.d $ cat /etc/default/octoprint
# Configuration for /etc/init.d/octoprint
# The init.d script will only run if this variable non-empty.
OCTOPRINT_USER=pi
# base directory to use
#BASEDIR=/home/pi/.octoprint
# configuration file to use
#CONFIGFILE=/home/pi/.octoprint/config.yaml
# On what port to run daemon, default is 5000
PORT=5000
# Path to the OctoPrint executable, you need to set this to match your installation!
DAEMON=/home/pi/OctoPrint/venv/bin/octoprint
# What arguments to pass to octoprint, usually no need to touch this
DAEMON_ARGS="--port=$PORT"
# Umask of files octoprint generates, Change this to 000 if running octoprint as its own, separate user
UMASK=022
# Process priority, 0 here will result in a priority 20 process.
# -2 ensures Octoprint has a slight priority over user processes.
NICELEVEL=-2
# Should we run at startup?
START=yes
this is the path to my octoprint executable, proof it is executable, attempt to run it (provides no output), and blindly following the instructions to execute update-rc.d
pi@prusa:/etc/init.d $ readlink -f ~/Octoprint/venv/bin/octoprint
/home/pi/Octoprint/venv/bin/octoprint
pi@prusa:/etc/init.d $ ls -l | grep octo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 3726 May 20 10:50 octoprint
pi@prusa:/etc/init.d $ echo "the /etc/init.d/octoprint is executable"
**the /etc/init.d/octoprint is executable**
pi@prusa:/etc/init.d $ ./octoprint
pi@prusa:/etc/init.d $ echo "I expect it to have some output. Never mind, I'll blindly continue the instructions"
I expect it to have some output. Never mind, I'll blindly continue the instructions
pi@prusa:/etc/init.d $ sudo update-rc.d octoprint defaults
pi@prusa:/etc/init.d $ sudo service octoprint start
pi@prusa:/etc/init.d $ echo "no output... unable to connect."
no output... unable to connect.
Below is the log file
Removed to fit in the character limit
That last log event was a half hour ago, when I last ran it normally.
Below is the output of running it again
pi@prusa:~ $ Octoprint/venv/bin/octoprint
